Yy g AN T IS universally conceded that Wash Fabrics are to occupy the dominant 


In anticipation of the extraordinary demand, already plainly in 
evidence, our preparations, inaugurated at an exceptionally early date, 
have been consummated upon a scale far surpassing all former 
notable efforts. 


The collection we offer embraces all of the latest Novelties 
that are in harmony with the prevailing mode, and the tout ensemble 
constitutes an exposition of the original, beautiful and exclusive in 


Wash Dress Materials without a parallel in the annals of the trade. 


The supremacy we have reached in the magnitude of our sales of this class 
of merchandise, by which we are enabled to command the best of the world’s markets, 
and control the entire special production of any mill, has led us to assume the 
sole distribution in the United States of the leading attractions that we exhibit for the 
coming year. The great advantage that our customers derive from the purchase of 


styles controlled exclusively by us is fully exemplified in their past experience, 


The prominence given in this issue to the more pronounced features of our 
exhibit of American Wash Fabrics. is in consonance with the unprecedented success 
that has crowned the efforts of our home manufacturers, and which is especially 
emphasized in the elaborate display we present for the opening year of the coming 
century, a success that may well be regarded as an earnest of the higher achieve- 


ments and greater surprises that the future unquestionably has in store. 


We present, in these pages, artistic delineations of our most prominent fabrics 
as they appear in actual costumes, the creations of leading modistes, showing the 


latest conceptions in vogue for the approaching season.

MOUSSELINE CREPE RAYE. 
(SILK WARP CREPE.) _ ee 


In the face of its great popularity, it is an ever-recurring query in 
trade circles whether the Crépon Cloth, with its exclusive characteristics 
and singular attractiveness, is destined to remain a leading favorite. With 
no signs of any diminution of a constant demand that comes from the high 
estimation it enjoys with the wearer, it is reasonable to conclude that it 
has won an abiding place among the latest textile creations. 


The Mousseline Crépe Rayé presents the appearance of the 
Crépon Cloth, modified by the introduction of the overstripe of satin; and, 
with the warp entirely silk, the result is an elaborate crépe effect sur- 
passingly alluring. | 


Fine crépy fabrics specially adapted for evening and party cos- 
tumes have heretofore been procurable only from foreign sources at | 
prices beyond the reach of the great majority of wearers. The Mousseline 
Crépe Rayé will be sold at a popular price available to all. 


A late creation of the Amold Print Works, of decided originality.

CREPE JAVANAISE. 


Late last season the demand for tucked and 
plaited fabrics was never fully satisfied. 

The Crépe Javanaise was originated to supply 
this manifest want, which bids fair to be more 
imperative the coming year. 

A close imitation of the costly machine- 
made article which can be readily used in 
substitution with a very great saving in ex- 
pense. 

Our line includes all the desirable shades of 
color in the widths of tucking stripes that have 
proved the most acceptable with the trade.

Though history seldom repeats itself, the experience of the past season, when no lady’s wardrobe was pronounced en régle 
without at least one costume of figured Dimity, promises to find abundant repetition the coming year. 


As a sheer dressy fabric that invites cocIness in the heat of summer, yet possesses the desirable qualities of strength 
and utility, the Dimity weave stands alone. . 


To meet the enormous demand already indicated, we offer in‘our Dimity, the work of the Merrimack Company, a

FOULARDINE. 


The most perfect imitation. of a Foulard silk ever produced, and 
only distinguishable upon the closest inspection. Extra fine weave texture, 
with a perfection of finish only reached after a long period of careful 
experimental work, the Foulardine represents the acme of attainment in 


this class of textile art. 


Original designs embracing the newest French Foulard patterns in 


the predominant colors that are the established favorites for the season 


of 1900. 


The supply will at no time equal the certain demand, as the price 


at which we offer this attractive fabric places it positively beyond any 


rivalship.

In this incomparable product of the

The singular attractiveness of this fabric,

novelties, though it is in reality an inexpen-

lessened cost, we have another instructive exhibit of the imitative skill 
of American artists as displayed in the reproduction of high-cost and 


exclusive novelties of foreign workmanship. 


A light-weight, silky fabric of dainty texture embellished with rich 
cords and stripes of satin, with the added adornment of exquisite Persian

NOVELTY 


OXFORDS. 


The Oxford-Cloth maintains its distinctive character 
among woven wash fabrics, possessing an individuality 


peculiarly its own that admits of no substitute or even 


feeble imitation, 


Distinguished for softness and pliableness of texture, 
combined with exceptional strength and durability, it has 
become in general estimation the fabric: par excellence 


for ladies’ skirts and outing costumes, and gentlemen's 


negligée shirts. 


The fine Novelty Oxfords, with their quaint and artful 
color designs in mercerized yarns, a masterpiece among 


the choice productions of the Aberfoyle Manufacturing 


Company, continue to merit the position of undisputed 


leadership in this class of dress materials.

The sudden and unsatisfied demand that came from the leaders of 
fashion at the close of last season for Corded Weaves in Wash Goods 
was a prophecy of their coming favor, which is already in full realization. 

The facility afforded for close and graceful draping by the 
weight and flexibleness of this fabric, united with its Siracal wearing 
qualities, naturally assign it a leading place among the favorite 


novelties of 1900. 


The Cable Cord is a close reproduction of one of the latest foreign 
ideals, being almost the exact equivalent in quality and style, yet offered 


at a price in comparison that is surprisingly low.

DOTTED SWISS MUSLIN. 


Little remains to be said in praise of a fabric that has so long and 
deservedly stood pre-eminent in the estimation of a multitude of consumers, and 
for which, because of its unexcelled qualities, they seek no substitute. 

In consideration of its superior worth as a washable, warm weather texture 
that is always stylish and dressy, as well as serviceable and durable, it may be 
justly classed among the very best. 

In the Printed Dotted Swiss we offer the one make that dominates the 
market because of its surprising excellence and extremely reasonable cost. 

It is worthy of note that small woven dots only will be the correct thing 


the coming season.

ccnebeeattetoe 


ey 


A twill of the finest quality, enriched with heavy silk stripes, and 


printed in rare and harmonious color designs of the highest art. While 


the fabric is seemingly, though not actually, composed entirely of the 


queen of fibres, the counterpart can be found only in the domain of the 


most costly foreign silk novelties that are free from any admixture. 


The Peau de Satin is a prominent type of the marvelous pro- 


ductions of the Arnold Print Works.

SCARBORO CORDS. 


The demand for a leader that will hold the foremost position from 
start to finish of the season is fully supplied in the Scarboro Cords. 
As a seasonable fabric of positive value in cloth, style and execution 
of work, purchasable at a nominal cost, its merits are so evident thai 
any amplification would be superfluous.

ORGANDIE POPULAIRE. 


This showy low-price fabric of sheer texture appears in response 
to the popular call for something of real intrinsic worth in close imitation 
of a fine quality Organdi that can reach the consumer at the smallest 
possible outlay. 

We are justified in the statement that the market offers nothing 
at the cost comparable with the Organdie Populaire, of which we control 
the entire production. 

The product of the Merrimack Company. 

N. B.—The Organdie Populaire will be sold only by the case of 
40 pieces, assorted, as the unprecedentedly low price does not admit 


of its distribution in broken lots. 


STANDARD OXFORDS. 


An Oxford Cloth which fully meets the most rigid demands of the wearers 
of this favorite woven fabric, and, at the cost, stands unequaled, in the estimation 


of the trade, by any production of its class. 


The pattern designs of the present offering comprise the very latest 
effects, selected with special relation to the various uses of this material in 


both male and female apparel. 


It is justly regarded as one of the most notable successes of the well- 
known Aberfoyle Manufacturing Company.

ENGLISH SATIN TWILLS. 


(GALATEA CLOTH.) 


This old favorite meets an increasing popularity with the advent of every 


season. 


As a production specially designed for children’s wear—weighty and well- 
nigh indestructible—and one that improves rather than deteriorates in the process 
of laundering, it is wholly incomparable, and has no rival in character or price. 


As an article for Kilt Suits, it is in very general demand for Summer wear.

blistered, effect is again prominent.

plain texture intervening, producing an attractive combination of pro- 


nounced originality that is exceptionally stylish and elegant.

PERCALE FRANCAISE. 


The best admits of no superlative. This elegant printed fabric 
represents the highest degree of attainment in this class of fine produc- 
tions, and is a signal illustration of the present wonderful development in 
the fabrication of high-class textiles in this country. 


The Percale Francaise, not alone in the quality of the cloth, but as 
well in the select and original pattern effects and exquisite harmony of 
colors, undeniably occupies a position of unapproachable superiority. 
This offering compares favorably with imported goods of the, same char- 
acter that are vastly more expensive.

Solid Color Welts have become an indispensable adjunct of every 
retailer’s stock. 

Their popularity during last season as a material peculiarly adapted 
for outing suits and skirts has firmly established their reputation, while it 
is admitted that there is no superior for children’s dresses among wash- 
able fabrics. 

In the F. D. Welt, the product of the Merrimack Company, we 


offer the most pronounced value of moderate cost in the market, as the 
united testimony of our customers in the past has amply confirmed.

M. D. DUCKS. 


The popularity and desirableness of Duck weaves for outing suits 
and skirts, and also children’s wear, are too well understood to make 
any exploitation of their merits needful. 


In a class of merchandise of which the very best is so inexpensive, 
an inferior quality possesses no attraction for the buyer. 


The popular M. D. Ducks will continue to occupy their command- 
ing place among dress fabrics of this description in the face of all 
competition.

This staple fabric of the olden type has no competitor among 
Gingham productions. 


Its valuable qualities are 50 fully known and appreciated by the 
trade that any description in this connection is uncalled for.

carrying at all times the largest and most completely assorted stock. |

(IMPORTED CLOTH.) 


The Organdi occupies the anomalous and almost solitary position 
of a summer fabric that is perennial in attractiveness with a never-waning 
popularity through all the changes that come in obedience to fashion’s 


decrees. 


As a diaphanous weave of the finest quality, which is faultless in 
the seasonable tints of ground work overlaid with floral designs and novel 
figure patterns forming a AbeAE of loveliness, our Organdi Splendide 
reaches the highest pinnacle among this class of productions and meets 
no worthy rivalry aside from the pretentious and more costly efforts 


of foreign workmanship. 


We have the exclusive distribution of this line for the United
